A Brazilian group from Santana do Livramento that's been playing traditional music since 1968.
For a sense of their sound, try "Cidade Sorriso" or "Vaquinha Preta." They're still playing the music they started with back in '68.
They've recorded more than forty albums over five decades, keeping gaucho traditions alive through songs like "Cidade Sorriso" and "Vaquinha Preta." Some listeners feel their music presents a narrow picture of gaucho life, while others see it as preserving something authentic. Their 1977 album "Canta Gaúcho da Fronteira" brought wider attention, especially the track "É Disso Que o Velho Gosta" with Chitãozinho & Xororó.
They formed in 1968 in Santana do Livramento, playing at local gatherings and small festivals. After their 1977 album gained attention, they kept recording steadily, marking their fortieth year in 2008 with a concert looking back at their material. Accordionist Nestor Reginatto still leads the group.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
